In order of usefulness: Sling - being able to drop your gun so you can use your hands and have it still across your chest is so useful in more circumstances than I can even remember, but most obviously climbing ladders, through windows, or crawling, but also something as simple as explaining where the enemy are to other people; plus having part of the weight taken by a sling helps - even if you are strong, it's the reps that do you in, so holding your gun up all day takes it out of your biceps... Sling Mount - your AEG's hang for comfort and ease of use can be greatly improved by where the sling attaches and what shape the mount is. Vertical Foregrip - holding horizontal handguards requires your wrist to be rotated almost as far as it goes, which can cause an ache after a whole day, but a vert grip allows a much more comfortable wrist position. Angled Foregrip (AFG) &/or Gas Peddle / Hand Stop / Magwell Grip - some people find these better than a vert grip. Grip-pod - combined vert grip & bipod - can be useful, especially if defending a trench or other fixed position where you are not going to move far until you get hit, but on the sort of gun which you wouldn't ordinarily put a bipod on. Some of the tube type which have 2 legs spring out below have really crappy plastic legs which snap unless you use them very carefully. Red Dot Sight - as Ed said, allows faster target acquisition. You need to get one which has a fairly bright dot to be useful outdoors, so the type which have variable brightness settings are probably best, unless you can get the same type someone tells you is bright enough. Torch - you don't need to spend fortunes / Ultrafire is a cheap Chinese brand but the Cree XML T6 LED they use is the same as used in more expensive brands. The C8 model is a pretty good all rounder, but the type with a zoomable bezel is probably better as a weapon mounted torch, even though it is not quite as bright as the C8, due to having less reflector than the C8. Rail Covers - can stop sharp edges wearing away at your clothing/equipment, but you should not be holding your AEG by a rail anyway, so it shouldn't matter to your hands - and you should also have gloves on... Lasers - if your local sight allows green ones then they can be used outside and can be useful to show someone else where an enemy is hiding, but they're not really much use as a target designator to use in conjunction with your own sight. Red ones are not bright enough in daylight outdoors and indoors you are unlikely to need to paint a target location for somebody else. Noob Tube - AKA nade launcher - funny to burst into a room and let go with 108 BB's in 1 pop, but doesn't achieve anything full auto wouldn't.3 points -

so maybe buy a cheap eotech, honestly everyone says the clones are exactly the same as the branded ones, you can pick them up for £30. how much mney you willing to spend. Ideally you want a LiPo (mine cost £20 and is a beast) and you will need a cranestock, I will get the link for mine. Also you need a smart charger, I use the accucel digital 6 that can charge everything from lead acid to LiFe and everything in between. It has an LCD display and is brilliant. that will set you back £70 including the battery (although you can get cheaper) which is what I run, seriously good setup IMO.. You want some mags, probably mid caps you will find (not so annoying as winding up Hi caps) and as monty said either a molle plate carrier or something along the lines. If I were you I would get the gun, good gear and everything else meaning that if you want to buy another gun, you have everything you need for that as well, instead of spending a huge amount on one gun. That mask is fine although it may steam up quite a bit.1 point -

Wow - no BLOD PS4's, or that new error code where PS4 owners can't connect to PSN as for severe overheating problems - lol they are BOTH using AMD's and AMD's are always running hotter than say Intel's are in PC how long have you worked for Sony ??? Yes Microsoft have LOADS of RROD on 360 and first Xbone's did have the rattley drive problem BUT Sony customer supports sucks and has only got worse after PS3 and the arrival of PS4 Kept trying to pass the butt on my 2nd BLOD - finally relenting and saying send it back and maybe in about 2 weeks we will get a replacement out to you - wtf ??? Sorry Sony but if that is best you can do when it is Easter Hols then forget it, took back to shop (American owned by Walmart) - got refund there n then no fuss So up your Sony - yanks customer service is better than your so that was why I thought wtf lets buy an American console again as at least they do "seem" to value their customers Guess what - it still works !!! And as for last batch of PS3's - why did they put in a thinner GPU die on 2103, 2503, 3003 and I won't even go into super slim's - but the thinner die GPU or RSX results in them running hotter than CPU's - Sony due you wanna replace some dead RSX boards I have to hand, good marketing just about 18months on the poor RSX just fails resulting in GLOD but hey the poor owner has got all their games to play - guess they gotta buy another modern cost cut PS3 then And yes I got a few RROD 360's too - especially the pre-jasper models - deffo 360's were miles worse than ps3's even the phatty CECHG's had a better track record than non-hdmi 360's but last lot of slims - oh yeah great idea to suffocate the poor thing in a case with les than 5mm or room over the cooling fan - yeah slim's run cooler but you suffocated them much more than phatt's and on the thinner RSX models - that was the chip that dies causing GLOD instead of YLOD on phats coz your cooling fan control systems waits too long before the fan kicks up a gear so it runs too warm for too long all for the sake of it sounding more quiet - the chips are starting to warm up in there At least the Xbox One has a bigger case - yes is pig ugly resemmbles an old VCR many say but vents are everywhere - so it does suprise me that 40% are overheating when MS - yes I dislike MS probably more than next guy, when Microsoft "seem" to have learned by their mistakes on the previous xbox 360 loved the original xbox though - deserved much more credit & success than it got - much like the brilliant groundbreaking Dreamcast that helped develop online gaming - thanks to Microsoft - damn you Bill Gates Modern day consoles do share one thing - they keep running hotter n hotter as the specs get higher n higher Think they both have got issues - coz they both trying to pump out so much more and thus failures will occur hopefully in next 1 or 2 years a newer revision will arrive with "some" bugs & issues resolved or at least reduced I will still get a PS4 - but will wait for newer revised model coz I have had bad luck/experience myself with them so far Finally - soz If I'm getting the steps to get on my high horse again but in MY experience and yes it could be $hit luck I am not a big fan of the PS4's build/reliabilty atm - and have said think both next gen have their issues. Had had most consoles apart and I know the pro/cons and flaws with certain models and now just stick to ps3's as I am more happy with them and don't need so much updating etc to run latest stuff on cfw etc...... soz again if I came over a bit stroppy, guess I am just very very unlucky but will wait for now1 point -

I'd say hold off on the sling just yet, ain't as if you carrying a M249 with ya you say cqb and the plastic/abs raider - hardly gonna kill ya too much even if all day and cqb most of time it will be out ready checking corners etc..... have a look at what other players have with their AEG's, great icebreaker to get chatting about nice gun/sling........ you got mounts on end of RIS & at end receiver/crane stock if you look carefully you can add another sling mount on stock near butt if you want to but you could end spending £15 or so on a sling that is not comfortable or ideal get a quick detach one as almost any sling my restrict quick peeking left with you shooting from left hand side to limit you exposing yourself - snigger naked airsoft - be ok if more ladies joined in I guess hold up on sling perhaps n check what everybody else is using and get their feedback on them1 point -
Yes Berets are a touchy subject due to the 'right' to wear one. But on a more practical note you will never usually see a soldier wearing a beret in the field (note usually). Berets are not practical field wear and in my opinion shouldn't been worn in the field unless ordered to do so. You are much better off with a bush hat (boonie) or a beanie hat (woolen style cap)1 point

Not really - some officers do act like they are a god but usually fall foul of internal investigations following complaints. Police officers are not above the law, and if they have acted outside of the law then they face very serious consequences. Whilst there have been many high profile cases of apparent corruption in the Police it is few and far between, and as these high profile cases have proved they generally pay the ultimate price when found out - i.e. loss of job and pension. Some people confuse 'doing what they like' with actual compliance with law and legislation, such as seizure of an uninsured motor vehicle under S165 (a) and ( of the Road Traffic Act 1988. People are never happy when their vehicle is seized (watch any Road Wars episode and you are likely to see this) but it doesn't make it wrong in the eyes of the law.1 point

I hardly ever use cash these days, except for fruit from the local shop (lol, where the precious things reside) and bus fare. In Notnum they don't give you change on the buses so, unless you want to get raped even worse, you need the right money - that takes care of my spare change and then some. Even the pubs I feel comfortable in take cards these days. Tis the end of days, I tell ye. Every man shall have the mark of the beast and without it shalt he not trade.
